The word "budget" in the "Preview budget" link is redundant. On the other hand, the words "Manage", Edit" and "Admin" are not really necessary in my humble opinion. Just like in the admin navigation menu we use "Participatory budgets" instead of "Manage Participatory budgets", the fact that we're going to manage or admin or edit something can be deduced from the fact that we're in the admin section. Besides, it isn't clear to me why we use "Manage" for projects, "Edit" for heading groups and "Admin" for ballots. The differences between these three concepts might be too subtle for me. The previous paragraphs haven't been corroborated with real users, though, so I might be mistaken and we might need to revisit these links in the future. These actions still take quite a lot of space. Maybe in the future we could remove the "delete" icon, at least on budgets which cannot be deleted.
